Nice; the black color of the design should have been the clue.

I know they are low grade and nothing otherwise extraordinary, but these are my first two T205s and I could easily get hooked! Personally, I could be pretty happy with a set that looks like the Merkle. I won't be able to buy much between now and after Christmas (unless I start liquidating something like my '65s), but my 2017 might just start off with more of these gold bordered beauties. Thanks to the T205 collectors for the inspiration.

Yeah I was comparing it to pictures of the different backs after I got it, there were a few inconsistencies with the Piedmont back and then I saw the Tolstoi back and smiled. Its the second T206 I have bought from an Ebay seller that probably didn't know a lot about the set.

Of the 325 Needhams in the PSA Pop Report, only 7 are Tolstoi backs.

There are definitely Canadians in the N172 set; not sure if there is anything older.

Cheers,

Other Canucks in the set;

Tip O'Neill

Arthur Irwin
John Irwin
Pop Smith

*I think I counted 54 Canadians who played at least one game from 1880-1900. Like Richard noted, Baseball-Reference has a full list of all Canadians who have made a big league appearance.

Thanks guys!

I appreciate the info!

Just returned from the GBSSC show at Shriner's Auditorium in Wilmington, MA.

Went with no expectations and had a great time.

Got to hold a few Irv Lewis T207s. Saw some neat cards, and traded a few pre-war postcards for an Ira Thomas Diamond Gum Pin.

I also met an old time board member, who many assumed might have passed away. Ralph in NH is alive and well, and we had a long chat.

I have subtitled this "Heinrich gets drilled in the ass".

If anyone here can read what I think is German, I would love to know what the back on this one says.

I found this link by just typing in "List of all CDN's who played in the major leagues"
It is 1/2 the way down and it's since 1871, which shows 245 CDN's played.
Just click on their names to find info about them.

Thrilled to add 2 more new D381 players that I didn't have before yesterday from REA as well as a bunch more tabbed cards. Also got the Clark variation from Goodwin weeks ago. Also got the Anson, just in from REA, gorgeous card with small pinhole.

I picked these up at a show in St. Louis
